New Faces at CRC
Please join the Collier Resource Center in welcoming Chief Executive Officer, Kari Lefort and 3 incoming Board Members Liz Beumi, Kelly Saylor, and Zannon Garza. We are excited to introduce these passionate and dedicated individuals.
Kari Lefort, our new CEO holds a B.A. in Social Work from Evangel University in Missouri and an M.A. in Social Work from Florida State University. She also holds a certificate from the Executive Leadership Program for Non-Profit Organizations from the University of Georgia.

Kari moved from Massachusetts to Southwest Florida in 2014 to escape the cold winters. She has worked with non-profit organizations for over 20 years and is passionate about advocating for and supporting vulnerable populations. Kari has been in management positions with non-profit organizations including the Harry Chapin Food Bank of Southwest Florida and Horizons for Homeless Children.

Kari said, “The attraction of CRC to me is the up-front case management approach and the ability to access the full range of agency solutions for people in need. I like the goal of addressing problems people have with basic needs and working to make them as self-sufficient as possible.”
Incoming Board Member, Liz Beumi moved to Naples in 2014 to pursue her B.A. in Accounting at Ave Maria University after leaving her hometown of Indianapolis, Indiana. Liz has been in public accounting for 5 years and is currently a Senior Accountant at Bodine Perry, where she works in tax, auditing, business consulting, and virtual controllerships for both non-profit and for-profit clients.

Liz is a licensed Certified Public Accountant, a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA,) and the Florida Institute of Certified Public Accountants (FICPA.) Liz is passionate about serving the Naples community and enjoys using talents to help others. 
Incoming Board Member, Kelly Saylor holds a B.S. in Marketing and Management from Indiana University and is currently a Portfolio Manager with Northern Trust in Naples, where she has been for nearly 14 years. Kelly lives in Naples with her husband and two daughters. She moved to Naples in 2005 and almost immediately became an important community volunteer.

Kelly has volunteered for various non-profits, including the Neighborhood Health Clinic, American Cancer Society, the Senior Friendship Health Center, and the Early Learning Coalition of SW Florida.
Incoming Board Member, Zannon Garza an Immokalee native, earned her B.S. in Marketing from the University of Florida. After returning to Naples and as a philanthropist at heart, Zannon spent much of her career in the non-profit world. She worked for Guadalupe Social Services (Catholic Charities,) and the American Heart Association, before joining DeAngelis Diamond Construction where she focuses on building authentic relationships and ensuring growth in the Southwest Florida Market.

Zannon serves as the Co-Chair for DeAngelis Diamond’s Team Impact, which coordinates volunteer and charitable giving efforts for the company. Part of what drew Zannon to DeAngelis Diamond was their core values, one of which is to give > to get.
Growing up in Immokalee, Zannon has seen first-hand the impact groups like the CRC has made on families and she is honored to serve on the CRC Board to help move our mission forward.
